Which roms are the best for improving battery life, which is my main challenge and issue with this device, as I am finding pretty much everything else great?
I don't want to sound harsh but what is the point of these threads?
People use phones in different ways. I use mine only to make calls and send txt msges and my battery lasts 2-3 days without a single charge, on froyo, gb, faux rom and miui
while for others who constantly browse web with 4g or play games expect the device to last a week without a charge...
oh well
/end rant
I think any stock speed kernal will save battery if you put brightness on auto

EaglesBlood 2.3.3 , Xboarder's Stock Tweaked, and Weapon G2x all give me much better battery life than the stock 2.3.3 OTA did.
XBoarders tweaked ROM has breathed new life into my battery life. I was remarking yesterday that I got 16+ hours and was still above 60% at the end of the day.
I've been on CM7 - Nightly 99 and the battery life has been fantastic. Was at 45% left last night after 17 hours off charge.
This was moderate use, with WiFi / WiFi calling on for about 60% of the day (which obviously helps).
Everything (mostly) keeps getting better with this phone.
I prefer EaglesBlood 2.3.3 OTA ROM. It's very stable, and if you use SetCPU, you can easily get through an entire day with it. I lasted 10 hours with moderate to heavy usage, and that's really good for me.
i had the best battery life with Ultimate ROM and faux kernel.
im on CM7(101) with Fauxs Stock voltage Kernel with set cpu at 389/389 on screen off and i get 8+ hours using the phone all day on "4G" web and a lot of texting. i calibrate the battery every time i do a nightly update. once you go CM7 you wont go back to anything else ill tell you that much
I have galaxy skyrocket with 2.3.5 and pretty happy with it. A friend installed ICS on his and on a quick glance I have not noticed any major benefits.
In general I am all for using latest software, but this is my primary phone and my life almost depends on it. I had some bad experience with experimental ROMs on my previous phone (it started hanging up and battery life decreased significantly) and this time I am cautious to upgrade and weighting pros and cons.
So, my question is: what are the major benefits on ICS compared to 2.3.5?
What major features I will get which would make it worth updating?
Thanks!
Pro:
Cooler apps
More aesthetically pleasing UX
ICS!!!
Con:
Terrible battery if you keep bloat
Not too much kernel modding

I'll chime in. The GB rom's are MUCH better right now. ICS leak is slow, and tons of bugs. None of the devs are able to fix the bugs so the custom roms are simply themed, packages added/removed, etc, and all the ICS bugs remain. The only thing ICS really brings right now is a better launcher and the ability to run the few ICS apps out there. When I switched back to GB I couldn't believe how fast my phone was.
I tried the leak and was less than impressed by the difference.
I have been back on Gingerbread ever since.
Sky ICS speed, faux 010u.
Super stable and very modder friendly.
I was loving the nexusmod GB rom but i took the leap yesterday to jump up to ICS. i flashed the UCLA4 modem followed by superlite 5 and honestly, i'm loving it. its much more aesthetically pleasing, and zippy as hell. On top of that, add supercharger and the build.prop tweaks mentioned earlier in the general section and you have a blazing fast UI.
I haven't noticed any battery drain yet, i think that might've been fixed in this latest version. It's honestly draining the same rate as it did on nexusmod. I get through a day with about 20-30% while listening to music, texting my gf regularly, and connected to wifi to play words with friends/draw something.
My vote : get yourself up to superlite
I tried the ICS leak stock (rooted and debloated).
The negatives out weighed the positives I get. In particular the battery life was worse. I got 4-6 hours less life from each charge.
Also some of the bugs, such as losing root and restart/reboot lock ups did not show up for a few days after I installed ICS.
I am back to 2.3.5.
It works well for me, YMMV.
Hi all. Some advice from this community, pls. Need your advise on a great battery performing custom gingerbread ROM.
I need my phone to eek out whatever battery life it can give me. 3 to 4 hours of conference calls a day and the calls are critical because these conference calls can impact the company I work for in 7 figures and up.
Obviously I'm not some high school kid rocking the lastest rom to beat out my buds in quadran on dateless nights. But I do stay connected with my friends via social media means. I went back to GB based ROMS because ICS (even the new 4.0.4) just doesn't cut it when it comes to battery life and to me, offers no functionality enhancement over MIUI GB based ROMs.
Does anyone know if MIUI is still developing new ROMS on gingerbread? Can someone point me to a site? I've been to all the MIUI sites linked here and all I see is ICS ROMS. Or is there any other ROMS that are still being developed on GB you know of?
Thanks so much!

Thanks for your advice, that is the GB ROM I'm already loving. Just wish the development would continue to polish off some FCs.
I totally love CYBERGR's v9 (2nd only to MIUI due to MIUI apps), but the battery life was just poor compared to my all the GB ROMS I've already had prior to trying out CYBERGR. I'll keep an eye out for v10's user feedback along with yours. Thanks for sharing.
cheers!
While battery is important I just can't make sense of this.
For these very important conference calls daily you are not around a car charger/AC power/or even usb power?
Then you always get a extra battery or a extended battery or multiple battery's.
While battery life is important for someone that has your usage pattern/requirements there really is no reason to have to resort to going back to gb roms to get more battery life.
Thanks!

Thanks for the comments but in my testing of all the GB vs ICS ROMs, I have found substantial more usage time out of GB ROMs. Otherwise, I would not be asking this question, right?
For those of you who care to know, the difference between my experience in all of the GB and ICS ROMS is just that: with any ICS ROM, I WILL NEED A/C with me at all times whereas with GB ROMS, most of them can get me through most days with only needing AC at the end of my work.
Have fun with your devices, all!
I was wondering what the pros and cons were for Gingerbread vs Ice Cream Sandwich.
Someone recently told me I should update to Ice Cream Sandwich from Gingerbread 2.3.6.
All feedback is much appreciated!
In before you get flamed with use the search!!!! Its all personal preference man. Try out GB and ICS roms see what best suits you.

If you are particular with the wifi calling features and battery life, you can stick on GB as it's good at that point but if you want fancy looking and customization
go grab some ICS flavor specially AOKP as it features a lot.. just make sure to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 before flashing ICS it will help you a lot and save you from headache.. now take some time to read and good luck..

I used lumin30's post to flash my phone before, the thing is I'm not sure where to look to find out the proper way to upgrade to ICS.

Technically there isn't really a "proper" way to upgrade to ICS on our phone, as Samsung stopped releasing official firmware upgrades after Gingerbread.
If you used lumin's post to flash your phone, you should already have CWM, so all you have to do to upgrade to ICS is flash CyanogenMod 9 or AOKP through recovery (or your ICS ROM of choice, I know a lot of them require you to already be on CM9 or AOKP before flashing though).
Keep in mind though that once you're on ICS, you have to one-click back to stock to go back to Gingerbread. Also, as mentioned above, battery life isn't the best on ICS and you won't have access to wi-fi calling. But with ICS you do get the latest and greatest (for our phone) and a lot more customization.
Do not feed the troll!

Battery Life is the main reason gb is better you may miss some other features like 4G but you'll gain many others in return like dramatically improved performance.
I say wait till bhundven and his team finish the Aries kernel before you switch so you have a solid upgrade you won't regret. You'll love ics at first but unless you don't use your phone that much you'll miss roms like Valhalla black for their great battery. This is why there's been a recent mass - GB migration from ICS.

You're right ics roms don't show 4G but they run it. On that topic, tmobile actually has an advantage for not supporting Lte because it means they can support quad core phones like the newly coming htc one x +

Thanks for this. Any idea when the kernel will be done?
First off, the "ICS has crappy battery life" is hardly an etched-in-stone thing. Many of us, who have taken the time to understand what is consuming battery, have more-than-acceptable battery life on ICS. Keep in mind though that each subsequent Android release has more "features" which will, in general, mean more CPU/GPU power required to use them, as well as Google bringing along more and more data requirements in their apps and services.
Second, Aries isn't going to "magically" solve anything, especially when it first comes out. While it may be better than the current kernel in some respects, it is likely to be worse in others, at least until we can find the issues and resolve them. It is important to remember that for many people the biggest changes that can be made to improve battery life is what applications you are running and how, not a kernel or a ROM.
As far as when, when its done. You can follow the CM9 dev thread for updates, but you won't find any promises as to when it is ready to be a "daily driver." While I flash Aries pretty regularly, I also have Heimdall at the ready, as well as several other ROMs and kernels available for when I need something that I can trust to use as a phone.
I wouldn't hold off on trying the ROMs that are available for the SGS4G at this point in time, GB and ICS both, and decide for yourself. Try them for several days each. While some ROMs I have tried I just haven't liked the UI and know I won't like them from that, knowing how a ROM performs as far as stability and battery life go, you can't really tell until you've had it running for a week or so after the novelty of the new ROM wears off and you start just using it as you usually do.
My biggest battery drain turned out to be obsessively searching for a battery drain solution on the xda app.
My battery is lasting for days now, even overnight, and, in bad reception areas.
My phone and WIFI service are spotty, in and out, all day in my office.
Biggest improvements:
fresh SD card.
refresh battery stats
flush cache
flush dalvik
fix permissions
let wifi sleep during sleep.
kill DSP and Google apps running
Once the phone runs for a day and a half rebuilding itself, battery had less drain, and boots very fast.
c'est la vie
Regarding battery life....if you want to be able to install whatever apps and not run batterystats and be selective about what your phone is doing and get great battery life then run GB. I have flashed and run every ROM since the Robbit / Team Whiskey days and for the average user ICS roms will not give the battery life a GB ROM will when running the same apps and services. I've had two SGS4's for 2 years and it's been the same for both of them. For the record the best legitimate battery life I ever got (meaning I'm running phone without tweaking certain apps and services to turn off etc...) was Dsex's original ICBINB with his original UV settings from that thread. I constantly had 3+ days of battery life on both phones...it would lose less than 1% in 10 hours of standby.
I love the ICS ROM's and understand that people are passionate about them considering all of the work that Team Acid and the likes have put into them....I am too. I work at a computer all day and my phone sits on charge so battery life isn't really an issue for me....as stated in other threads the only thing keeping me on GB is the busted voodoo sound on ICS.
On ICS ROM's I'm getting 10 to 11 hours (which I do consider acceptable ), tops, without messing with the phone to extend battery life. Flash back to any GB ROM and I'm getting 18 to 20 with the same apps and usage. I'm not dissing ICS, just being honest.

It doesn't work. Seems like it's working up until you make or receive a phone call then the analogue volume quits working. Also sound continues to be heard through handset speaker when headphones are plugged in.
When I first went back to GB my wifes SGS4G was still on CM9 I did a direct comparison of the audio on both phones and it was obvious that voodoo sound wasn't doing what it should on ICS even after a reboot when the analogue slider is working. There is noticeable distortion at higher levels, the noise floor is audibly higher and the phone just plain won't go as loud. If you have 2 phones to A/B compare the difference is very clear.

We have been very fortunate with a recent influx of ported ROMs and modified experiemental Kernels and want to gather people's opinions on what the best Daily Driver ROM/kernel combo is these days.
What says you!
Well when my DS died a month or so ago I was bouncing between CM 9.1 with the experimental kernel, paranoid android, and virtuous infinity (1.3.5 beta 1). Each had its own merits... cm9 is on there right now but the screen doesn't work lol.

I am a huge fan of MikTouch and always keep a android just in case. It is probably the most stable of any Rom available.
This week I finally tried the new AOKP from SilverL. I haven't tried an AOKP before. I love all the tweaks in Rom control. It will probably be my daily driver for awhile.
Just try a few and see what you like. Good luck.

CM 9.1. Running the R3 ROM with the R8 kernel and everything's working smooth.
I second npiper. I tried a couple of the ICS roms and enjoyed them, but after a week or two I couldn't deal with the little issues any longer and went back to the rom that hasn't let me down, MikTouch. I can't remember ever having an app fc on me with it.
MAN! That's like taking a police officer into a Dunkin Donuts and asking him to pick one favorite! :laugh:

Interesting, I never knew Miktouch was so preferred around here. I've always skipped over it because it was Sense and I've never been happy with stock sense. I'll maybe give it a shot this week. It's GB not ICS, right?
I'm also going to test out CM9.1 r8 and see how I fair with it compared to my (somewhat) trusty CM9 Alpha5
Paranoid Android is a very fun idea and I love having it as an option, but I'm not sure a screen our size really calls for it

I'm testing out the new CM9.1r8, as well. Miktouch is indeed GB. With it I'm regularly getting 30+ hours of use with my 1900mAh battery. I'm anxious to see what I get with the new CM9.1r8. I tested the earlier r5 build of CM9.1 and just wasn't totally happy with it so I went back to Miktouch. I love the look of the ICS/Sense4 and Sense 3.6 ROMS, but none of them have the stability and battery life I need, so I end up back at Miktouch.
30+ hours sounds fantastic, but for reference how long would you say you manage to get on a CM9 ROM?

Depends on usage really. I can get up to 40 hours out of one of my ankers with around 4 hours screen on time. Or I could get 9 hours battery life with the same usage, it just depends on how hard core you use your phone that day.

Yeah what he said. There are users that will claim to have amazing battery life and then post screen shots of Display only accounting for like 30% of the usage.. When that's the case then you know the thing isn't on that much because it really is display that uses the most juice if you're using your phone heavy.
That said, I've had the Mugen 3600 since the day it was released and I can always get through a whole day without any worry even if i'm talking for hours, playing games whatever surfing the net and checking XDA regularly etc.. Sometimes I put the smaller batteries back in because the phone looks sharp stock but then I find myself concerned about being near a charger and I hate that feeling. I just want to plug it in while I'm sleeping and use it at will the rest of the time and with the "big boy" I totally can.

I just loaded this CM9.1r8 ROM yesterday, so don't have any complete sense of battery life, yet. Though so far it is looking very good. I get such battery life on my phone because when I am home it does sit with the screen off most of the time. At home it connects via Bluetooth to my Panasonic cordless phones and Wi-Fi to my home network. All the voice calls I make or receive go through those cordless phones to the cellphone (my MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or other mobile). I do some texting on the phone, and of course when I go out of the apartment it isn't connected to Bluetooth. When I'm out I will use maps sometimes, apps like Friendstream and Foursquare. Oh, and when out I am almost always listening to music either stored on my SD card or streaming from Google Music or the FM radio. So, not a "hardcore" user, I guess, but I do what I need. Miktouch recently got me over 2 days of use on a single charge, but more typical is about 28-30 hours. The new CM9.1r8 is looking to behave similarly so far.

I got this build before it was posted from the dev, so I have a bit more experience on the battery. I ran it for 24 hours straight without recharging, got in 2.5 hours of web browsing, another hour of wifi calling in, and the batter was at 15% when I woke up this morning (Anker 1900 mAh). Everything I've tested has worked fine. The one gotcha on the battery may be if you boot into it initially--I noticed that on the first reboot, it wasn't going into deep sleep, but after I rebooted a second time, it was clean. It may require a full battery pull for the hardware to completely reset or something. Otherwise, things are great!
CM9.1 r7 kernel and ROM. Flashing to r8 soon. My only gripe with this ROM is the camera is a little lacking, but I'd take stock AOSP over the sense camera any day. If I were to use GB though, I'd go with one of Undead9k's "senseless" ROMs.
Well this might seem obvious to most in this community, but since I spent as long as I did not updating maybe there are others out there as well...
I have found no reason to *not* update from cm9 to cm9.1 r8.
Does anyone have any opinions of our new AOKP vs CM9.1 roms?
Actually I'm using CM9.1r8 ROM, too. Although it's still soon to throw a veredict, by the moment I'm getting great battery life, and it works perfect and smooth.
The only feature I still miss is the alt/caps led/status bar indicator ;(
